kmemleak: always register debugfs file

Browse Source 
If kmemleak built in to the kernel, but is disabled by default, the
debugfs file is never registered.  Because of this, it is not possible
to find out if the kernel is built with kmemleak support by checking for
the presence of this file.  To allow this, always register the file.

After this patch, if the file doesn't exist, kmemleak is not available
in the kernel.  If writing "scan" or any other value than "clear" to
this file results in EBUSY, then kmemleak is available but is disabled
by default and can be activated via the kernel command line.

Catalin: "that's also consistent with a late disabling of kmemleak when
the debugfs entry sticks around."
